[Samba] Macro expansion in LDAP entries like %L no longer works
with 3.0.23d

I just want to note this for other users having problems with roaming profiles
after upgrading their samba. As far as I can see this change is not described
somewhere else.
I updated a samba PDC from 3.0.21b to 3.0.23d and had problems logging in an
Windows XP using roaming profiles complaining just about not finding a
network-path. Profiles could not be loaded. It took me 1 day to figure out
that ldap entries like
sambaProfilePath: \\%L\Profiles
sambaHomePath: \\%L\home
do not longer work like they did with samba 3.0.21b. Now you have to hard-code
the path like
sambaProfilePath: \\Servername\Profiles
sambaHomePath: \\Servername\home
for all users in ldap.
Hope this helps someone having the same problem.
Best regards,
Oli
